Types of guardianships

There are many forms of guardianships that may be appropriate for you depending on the circumstances of your situation. Our lawyers have an in-depth understanding of the process involved in establishing a guardianship or conservatorship.

We can review your case and advise you on which of the following types of guardianship would be most beneficial for you:

Limited guardianship: In some cases, a ward may be able to make certain responsible decisions. In situations where a ward is incapable of making all of their decisions on their own, the court may grant a limited guardianship.

Co-guardianship: Two guardians may be appointed to protect the interests of a ward. This may be done to prevent a single guardian from abusing his or her powers or to provide continuity of protection for the ward. Important decisions about the ward may require approval from both guardians.

Guardian of property: It may be necessary to appoint a guardian of property (a conservator) to manage the financial assets and resources needed to care for a ward.

Guardian ad litem: A guardian ad litem represents the legal interests of the ward. A guardian ad litem can make recommendations to the court about issues related to custody, visitation or pursuit of other legal rights.
